It fit perfectly. I noticed however I just couldn't slow down on todays ride.<br /><br />What in particular didn't you like about the Z1000. Did it have plenty of punch down low? You may think it was a bit on the gutless side coming from a ZX14 but thats to be expected, you'd probably think my R1 was an underpowered wrist snapper.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10160712689280276620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-56701738557015914352014-04-07T21:58:32.968+10:002014-04-07T21:58:32.968+10:00The bikes came out good in those pics didn't ...The bikes came out good in those pics didn't they.

I noticed that at the front of the helmet there is no gap for air to go up or down around my chin area like my old helmet had and it didn't fog up nearly as bad.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10160712689280276620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-85537697804116048342014-04-07T07:39:14.340+10:002014-04-07T07:39:14.340+10:00Steve, great pics again and I agree that the two r...Steve, great pics again and I agree that the two red bikes look good together. I dare say that you have re-adjusted to the R1 after your time on the BMW in NZ. I had a ride on a new Kawa Z1000 at a demo ride day here on Saturday. I liked the upright seating position, but that was about all really.<br /><br />I've had pinlock visors in my last two Shoei helmets and they completely eliminate the fogging. <br /><br />Tarsnakes Down Underhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04859439380216890525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-8184759840784401202014-04-07T01:13:11.372+10:002014-04-07T01:13:11.372+10:00Stopping at the races sounds like a great excuse f...Stopping at the races sounds like a great excuse for dodging the bad rainstorm.<br /><br />The two red bikes look quite nice posed together. Nice and bright against the landscape.<br /><br />I too have a Shoei helmet, a Quest model. I have the pinlock as without it I couldn't ride in the rain or just cooler weather without fogging. The pinlock doesn't stop it but it seems to reduce it enough to ride. But my sunglasses or yellow lensed glasses will still fog up though.
